Abstract
The review considers bilateral interactions between bacteria and clay minerals and their influence on the chemical composition and chemical processes in soils. The participation of bacteria in the weathering, transformation and synthesis of new clay minerals is shown. These interactions contribute to changing the water-retaining properties of soils, ensuring their fertility, and contributes to the cycles of nutrients, inorganic and organic pollutants. Various processes of direct and indirect influence of phyllosilicates on microbiological activity and microbial diversity in soils and the possible biogeochemical role of these processes are described. Obviously, the prevalence of interaction types between bacteria and clay minerals is determined by the First Biogeochemical Principle formulated by V.I. Vernadsky
